JR Power Project

JR Power Project is a 1,800 megawatt coal-fired power station proposed to be built near Naini, Orissa, India.

KSK Energy Ventures states that "this power project is planned being based on a fuel supply agreement that we have entered into with PIPDIC. The JRP SPV and PIPDIC signed a memorandum of understanding which specifies that PIPDIC shall procure a coal block from the GOI jointly with GMDC. PIPDIC has agreed that it will obtain a prospecting license upon allotment of the coal block and that the JRP SPV will have the exclusive responsibility for setting up one or more power projects for utilization of the coal available to PIPDIC from the coal blocks. The JRP SPV will use this coal to fuel the JR power project."
